Read the full storyIn the heart of every thriving agricultural community, there's a network of dedicated individuals whose contributions often extend beyond the visible fields and livestock. While the day-to-day management of farms keeps many busy, it's often the wives, partners, and women behind the scenes who deftly handle the crucial administrative and logistical aspects of the agricultural business. Their insights, resilience, and unique perspectives are invaluable, particularly as communities navigate the path of recovery.
Recognising this vital role, Jane Carne, Community Recovery Officer, has been actively engaging with various sectors to understand their progress and identify areas where support can be most effective. It's clear that the agricultural community holds a special place in these efforts, and specifically, the women within it who contribute so significantly.
To foster connection and provide a relaxed forum for these remarkable individuals, Jane is hosting a special morning tea event titled "Coffee • Crops • Conversations." This initiative is designed to be an informal gathering where women (and any gentlemen who wish to attend) in agriculture can come together. It's an opportunity to sip on some coffee, share experiences, and engage in conversations about how they are faring and any challenges they might be encountering as the community progresses through recovery.
This isn't a formal presentation or a structured seminar. Instead, it's an open invitation to simply drop in, have a coffee on us, and connect with peers who understand the unique demands and rewards of life in agriculture. Whether you can spare the entire morning or just a brief moment, your presence and perspective would be warmly welcomed.
"We value the incredible contributions of all those involved in our agricultural sector and believe that by coming together, we can further strengthen our community's recovery journey," Jane said.
"We encourage all interested to mark their calendars and join us for what promises to be a supportive and enriching morning."
